Some PCIE firmwares drop txstatus if pktid is 0 and make packet held in
host side and not be released. If that packet type is 802.1x, the
pend_8021x_cnt value will be always greater than 0 and show "Timed out
waiting for no pending 802.1x packets" error message when sending key to
dongle.

To be compatible with all firmwares, host should allocate msgbuf pktid
from 1 instead of from 0.

looking at it we are wasting entry 0 with this patch. Could we avoid that?

Hi Arend,

Thanks for the suggestion.
To avoid wasting index zero entry, I just increase request ID in TXflow
and decrease request ID when handling txstatus. I've posted patch v2.
